A good father's day gift for his 84 c10?

[benoit454]

Well guys I keep running it around in my brain and can't decide on what I should get my dad for father's day. I'd like to get him something for his truck, he's a truck guy and I like to work on it too. I'd love to build it or build my own.

There's a few things he could use or needs but alot of them don't seem like much of a nice gift IMo.

Let me run some things by you guys and maybe you can help me out.

For one I don't have alot to spend, looking at under a hundred, but could go more.

NOW one things I know I'd like to get him if I went over, but really can't is nice wheels. We like cragers but they'd be way too much. So I'm thinking wagon wheels or 8 spoke chrome ones as most know them by. I could get all 4 15x8 center caps, lugs and valves delivered for like $250 from summit and be here by then. I'd love to do that but sadly don't think I could afford it right now.

So other things would be....

Maybe some rotors, and pads up front, his are about half worn down on the pads. So maybe just rotors and pads, but could spring for calipers and bearings also. Probably rotors, pads, and bearings for sure if that would be what I went for.

He needs a dash cover, I like the hard molded ones they are almost a hundred though, most are after shipping. The rest of the interior is pretty good, just you know ya stare at the dash pad all the time and everyone looking in sees it.

Al the body is straight and doesn't really need any sheetmetal.

he does need the headlight molding on the passenger side, the part that's on the fender, and the driver's side drip rail, along with an ash trey, and dome light cover inside. To me thoose wouldn't be much of a gift though.

I know he'd appreciate it if I just cleaned it all up inside and out and waxed it, and it be enough for him, but I'd like to get him something. I already got him a chevy truck t-shirt that's same color blue as his truck, this weekend but still.

He also said he'd like to get 2 matching tires for the rear, since it has snow tires on back and goodyear wranglers up front, he said he wants seom wranglers for the back too. They are about $90 each though from wal-mart.

I like headlight covers, we had some before, but I don't think he much likes them now, or doesn't want to use them.

He likes tail light covers, so maybe some of them?

Maybe a bug shield? he likes thoose also, but has never mentioned either for this truck.

I'd like to get a billet, phantom or tube grille for it. he doesn't really care much on either of them, you know live with or live without, doesn't matter.

Already has a sunvisor from lund on top of the cab, and hood scoops, already has xm radio, cd player, cb, tailgate cap.

Maybe some of that roll on bedliner? I heard him say he wants to get some of that and put in it. Hmmm. I'm getting better ideas while I write this.


Any ideas guys?

Right now after typing that I'm thinking of getting one of the bug shields and maybe a gallon of that roll on bedliner and do it for him.

if I could do that AND find thoose pieces outside he needs, the drip rail and headlight trim, that be pretty good I think. Maybe I'll go for thoose.

Any better ideas or opinions though?

I'd like to drop it, but I don't think he's too much into that LOL.
